Spring Rains

After work last night I took the kids to check out what happens when the Spring rains come. This is one of our fishing spots along the Conococheague Creek. The nominal creek bank is 20 to 30 ft from where the wood posts are. Here is what it looks like in the summer.


When the creek is running normal this waterfall is about 5 feet high. Yesterday there was not much difference in the height on either side.


We watched a number of large tree trunks go over the waterfall before heading back to the house. While this is less than a quarter mile from our house we are a good 100 ft or so higher in elevation, which made the kids feel comfortable that we would not be flooded out.
